China's EV sector boom is a de facto government ploy to take over market share abroad. This is why its EV companies get subsidized to the max, the sector's financial advantage already builds on China's low labor costs and lack of environmental policies. China is literally trying to flood foreign markets with cheap and low quality vehicles even when there is little demand.
Never really understood the reasoning behind, what's the point of doing this? Yet the facts are the facts, there are currently tens of thousands brand new Chinese EVs catching dust on Australian parking lots due to surplus manufacturing, similar scenes exist in China. The Changs are producing for a market that doesn't exist, it's literally about pumping out cars. Set-up is indeed very similar to the Chinese real estate market and is now experiencing a similar blow off top.
China's EV sector is in bad shape, must like it's wider economy. Or maybe the Changs just realized that building cars to let them rot on parking lots is ultimately not a winning strategy.
I like how you cope yourself into looking at only the past couple months.
The three T's and EV's!For undisclosed and unstated reason the CCP hydra with Western travel agencies should start considering including that issue into their blacklist of sensitive and not to mention topics whilst visiting China. From here on those are Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang genocide, Falun Gong, Xi's purges, HK protests, any moderate comments about Takaichi, Tiananmen Massacre and China's shit-tier EVs and crumbling EV industry.
For undisclosed and unstated reason the CCP hydra with its many heads gets really upset whenever the crumbling Chinese EV sector gets mentioned in any setting that doesn't limit itself to flowery language, manufactured graphs and over the top praises. It's really weird, just check the comments on any EV mention on Twitter for example, wumaos immediately assemble in great numbers to harass, brigade and out-shout the initial message in the comment section. Happens every single time.
A month on month 20 percent decrease in output and cumulative loss of 60 billion USD on the stockmarket is nothing short of a cave-in. Still haven't figured out what's with all the sentitivities regarding Chinese junk EVs and it's collapsing industry though, Western travel agencies should start considering including that issue into their blacklist of sensitive and not to mention topics whilst visiting China. From here on those are Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang genocide, Falun Gong, Xi's purges, HK protests, any moderate comments about Takaichi, Tiananmen Massacre and China's shit-tier EVs and crumbling EV industry.
How much of that 31% yoy increase was from the fake used car sales Ken-Cao described? How do you go from up 31% in 2025 to down 39% in Jan. 2026 compared to Jan 2025?![]()
BYD sales up 31% yoy, Geely up 59%. This kind of puts in perspective their momentum, and the scale of the BS that people like Sterzel have to pull in order to keep their fake narratives about the Chinese auto industry going.
